Subject: [PATCH v3] erofs-utils: fuse: add missing return on getattr error
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 12:44:55 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321071455.1329-1-newajay.11r@gmail.com> (raw)
erofsfuse_getattr() calls fuse_reply_err() when
erofs_read_inode_from_disk() fails, but does not return
afterwards. This causes the function to fall through to
erofsfuse_fill_stat() with uninitialized inode data and then
call fuse_reply_attr(), sending a second reply to the same
FUSE request.
Sending two replies to a single FUSE request is undefined
behavior in libfuse and typically triggers an assertion
failure or crash. The uninitialized inode data may also
expose garbage values to userspace.
Fix by adding the missing return after fuse_reply_err().
